You obviously don't understand that ISIS is a worldwide problem, not just Egypt? The purpose of the thread was to show you how ISIS is expanding and growing so what do you propose we do about it?

If Saudi Arabia, with the fourth largest global military budget, Iran, Israel, and Egypt can't suppress the Islamic State, then the US can't either. Personally I'm sick and tired of you guys constantly advocating military answers to problems that we continue to create. Sound US policy in the ME has been lacking for decades.

Yep, didn't expect much less from you but the Mission Accomplished Banner was misinterpreted by the left knowing people like you would buy the rhetoric. Mission Accomplished was for the Carrier and its mission. If it was for the war he would have done it in Baghdad

LOL....and it just coincidentally happened to be strategically placed right behind Bush in his flight suit. You are truly truly gullible.

acknowledging what you want serves exactly what purpose? I find it absolutely stunning how someone from England can call anyone in this country stupid. Honest to God the United States greatest ally supported Bush and his actions so if Bush is so dumb and stupid what does that make England's leadership? Tony Blair was on board. Hindsight is always 20-20 to the PC world most of whom have no understanding of leadership. You are someone who always wants to fight a PC war so before I call anyone else stupid you better look at actual results.

We don't like liars as our leaders. The Iraq war cost Blair his premiership and was not supported by our public. Indeed before the conflict 1.5 million filled the streets of London in the biggest protest of any kind ever seen in this country. For all the good it did. We knew this was BS from the get go. Preservation of our so called 'special relationship' when the US needed validation for its actions from someone somewhere seems to have been the main consideration for Blair and it cost him. His premiership will historically be forever tainted by Iraq

ISIS has land in Iraq and is launching operations out of there. That is where they can and should be destroyed. Your shortsighted approach or "Rodney King" can't we all just get along, approach doesn't resonate with terrorists.

You believe what you want to believe but not the official news reports and where the banner came from and upon whose request. Not surprising, the real news doesn't get to the left coast which is probably why your state is so screwed up

One of the great mysteries in all this will forever be why Iraq was attacked when 9/11 was planned financed and executed by Saudis ?

And your belligerent advocacy of failed US policy that creates these problems in the first place is troubling.

I agree, in this PC Country we have today where feelings are more important than actual results, there are no easy solutions and maybe no solution at all. Mine is to wipe them off the face of the earth including those who support that perverted ideology. Are civilians going to get killed, yep, so be it, they seem to be allowing it to happen. Not all Muslims are radical and I think we can put together a good coalition to do what is necessary to eradicate ISIS but I don't think Obama has the leadership skills to do that. He has always shown he doesn't have the temperament or the personality traits to work with anyone on any issue. With Obama it is his way or the highway, the same traits liberals claimed Bush had but now are accepted.

Obama does look a lot like my avatar to be sure. Neither one was a strong leader.

Getting rid of ISIS will take not just a strong leader, but one who pays attention to detail and works out what the unintended consequences may be. Take the idea of wiping ISIS out, for example. Like taking out Saddam Hussain, it would leave a power vacuum. Who would fill that vacuum?
